  • strip thickness: 0.1 to 0.4 mm
  • Max organo sheet dimensions: 1300 mm x 1000 mm
  • Cutting angle: +45° to -45°.
  • Positioning accuracy: +/- 0.15mm
  • Maximum blank dimensions: 1300 mm x 1000 mm
  • Dry or prepreg materials
  • High production rates

Input materials

The QSP direct layup 1300 can produce preforms from organo sheets or from multi-layer thermoplastic tapes (all thermoplastic resins are accepted), based on glass fibers or carbon fibers.

Thanks to the cutting units and automated laying system, the patches are cut, placed and welded to form a 2D+ multi-layer preform.

PINETTE PEI and its partner CETIM, the technical center for mechanical industries, can support you throughout your project, from part development to industrialization, including process simulation and the definition of an optimized layering plan.

Although standard, this machine can be adapted to meet the specific needs of each customer.

This composite preform production unit has been designed for easy transport and handling, to adapt to any conceivable configuration, including integration into a complete production line.
